Falling apart
Martine McCutcheon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something I want to say
Don't want it locked up inside forever
This feeling won't go away
Don't want to live in the never-never

And so I've written these words
For all the world to see
What is it that you're scared of?
Is it you?
Or is it me?

And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart

So am I wasting my time?
Is there a chance you could really want me?
So baby, give me a sign
If you don't want me, I've got to know

And so I've written these words
For all the world to see
What is it that you're scared of?
Is it you?
Or is it me?

And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart

And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart




Of my mind, and my heart
Of my mind, and my heart
